Stevia (botanical name Stevia rebaudiana) is a species of plant native to Brazil and Paraguay. It contains a substance called steviose or steviol, which has many times greater sweetening power than sugar. It is used in several countries as an alternative sweetener to sugar.
The sweet taste of its leaves has been known for centuries by the people of South America who use it as a natural sweetener. In recent years, the stevia plant and the sweeteners derived from its leaves have attracted attention due to the increased demand for foods low in sugar and calories. The leaves of the plant and the sweeteners derived from it are many times sweeter than sugar, do not provide energy (calories) and do not contain carbohydrates.
Stevia-derived sweeteners provide zero calories and can be an option for people who want to lose or maintain their weight. Studies have shown that low- or zero-calorie sweeteners can contribute to weight control by reducing the calorie content of the diet and maintaining the pleasure of the diet, helping people stick to their diet for longer.
Stevia sweeteners do not contain carbohydrates and do not affect blood glucose. They are suitable for diabetics.

Stevia is significantly sweeter than sugar. In fact, the sweetness of stevia can range from 30 to 150 times that of sucrose, which is the scientific name for regular table sugar. The exact level of sweetness can vary depending on the specific stevia product or extract used. In general, this means that you only need a small amount of stevia to achieve the same level of sweetness as a larger amount of sugar.
For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of sugar, you may only need a small pinch or a fraction of the sweet stevia to achieve the same sweetness. Because of this intense sweetness, it is essential to use stevia carefully to avoid making your dish overly sweet. Many commercial stevia products come with conversion instructions to help you use it effectively as a sugar substitute in various recipes.
